If you’re living in or renting out a property in Notting Hill, you may have heard about the need for an EICR certificate. But what exactly is it, and why is it so important?
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is an official document issued after a qualified electrician inspects your property's electrical systems. Its purpose is to assess the safety and condition of the electrical installations throughout the home. At RCD Electrical, we specialise in conducting thorough EICR inspections across Notting Hill, ensuring residents and landlords comply with current safety standards.
Under UK law, landlords are now legally required to have an EICR performed at least every five years or at the beginning of each new tenancy. For homeowners, while not a legal requirement, an EICR is still highly recommended—especially if your home is older or you plan to sell or renovate. An up-to-date EICR gives peace of mind that your electrical system is functioning safely and efficiently.
RCD Electrical’s qualified electricians carry out detailed inspections to identify wear, damage, or outdated wiring. We check the consumer unit, earthing and bonding, circuit integrity, and socket conditions. After the inspection, we issue a full report highlighting any faults, potential hazards, or areas that require immediate attention.
If faults are found, we’ll provide clear, transparent advice on the required remedial work. Our aim is not only to ensure your compliance but to guarantee the safety of your household or tenants. Faulty electrics can cause serious risks, including electric shock or fire—an EICR identifies and mitigates these dangers.
We understand that electrical regulations may feel overwhelming. That’s why we simplify the process. From initial booking to final certification, RCD Electrical manages everything professionally and efficiently. We're based locally, so our response time in Notting Hill is swift and reliable.
Whether you’re a landlord needing to meet legal responsibilities, a homeowner seeking peace of mind, or preparing for a sale or renovation, trust RCD Electrical for your EICR certificate needs.
